You might be surprised then that England is a bit bigger than you thought. For
instance it is about three hundred miles from London to Carlisle which is about
a five hour drive at the speed limits of 70 mph on motorways and 60 on some dual
carriageways. London to Penzance (where the pirates come from) is just over 300
miles again about 5 hours. Penzance to Thurso at the far north of Scotland is
800 miles and fourteen and a half hours driving non stop. (OK Scotland is not in
England but they both are in Britain :)

I don't know the "Fireworks" is not conducive for keeping to the speed limits.
It will be the "Beggars Opera" on the way back.
